Me, Myself and Mum Trailer (2013)

Trailer for Me, Myself and Mum.

Comedian Guillaume Gallienne’s first directorial work, based on his one-man play, recalls his youth among the upper class and his ambiguous affinity with his mother, who raised him as more of a daughter than a son, insisting that he is gay despite Guillaume’s uncertainty. A member of the Comédie-Française, Gallienne excels in the art of transformism—playing himself at different ages, his mother, and his mental projections (including Sissi of Austria)—and his do-it-yourself spirit translates confidently from the minimalism of his stage show to the wider canvas of cinema.
